On PBS, Enes Kanter RIPS Nike as 'Biggest Hypocrites' in the World
On Monday, PBS played a Christiane Amanpour interview from CNN with Boston Celtics basketball star Enes Kanter over the controversy caused by his activism against China, which cuts against the usual "social justice warrior" vein.

Column: ABC Saves Biden's Bacon In Year-End Roundup
One of the most disturbing concepts in politics is the media elite providing the “first draft of history.” You can test-drive this with a look at ABC’s two-hour year-end special on December 27. It was mostly about celebrities and athletes and some natural disasters. But when President Biden came up, ABC was energetically playing defense.

Here's 2021's Most Out of Touch Moments on 'The View'
The View is hardly a balanced political show. How can it be, with three or four liberals against one conservative? (Or no conservative, as it has been this season.) Still, there are moments on the show where you can’t believe what you are hearing, because it is so far removed from reality. Recognizing that, here are the most out of touch, wackiest reactions and comments from the hosts…
Editor’s Pick: NRO Covers Fallout of NYC’s Drug Injection Sites
Doing reporting the liberal media wouldn’t dare to do (or at least consistently), National Review’s Zachary Evans has a piece from Thursday morning highlighting the scene outside New York City’s two so-called safe injection sites, which “provide clean syringes and overdose-prevention services to addicts, who bring drugs from outside,” allow them to shoot up, and then be revived by medical…
